Question

Discuss five (5) measures that can be adopted to cuitail the practice of rudimentary sociocultural practice in some Ghanaian communities?

Answer 1

The rudimentary practices has always been in controversy in african countries and they even lead to death of the person on which it is being practiced .It is against humanity to see them as a part of tradition .I mention following measure to take in order to curtail the rudimnetary activities which are still being practiced in Ghana

• First there is need of strong law to stop the female genital mutiliation which is still being practiced in some african countries .In this practce the female genital part is being mutiliated with the belief that this will pure the girl virginity and will prevent her from beng in any sexual relationship with anyone untill marriage whihc is against the democracy and the fundamental of a nation.It is sgainst the right and will of a citizen and it require permanent law to have a restriction over its practice in order to save the dignity and right of a female .
• Anopther is the marriage of girl before attaining pubrerty which quite common in some tribes in ghana .It is again the funamentals and the constitution needs a law to set the age of marriage of girl and boys respectively .This will allow the parent to marry a girl only after getting into adulthood .
• Policing is also needs to provided with compusary knowledge rgarding the ill tradition practice in some communities so that they can effectively eal with the cases which occur and provide justice to them in order to make the society balance for everyone .
• Reservation is also required for illetrate, backward clas people who practice those traditions because of lack of knowledge and poverty .They must be given resrvational rights in Jobs, education and other things so that thye move forward and help in abolishing those practices .
• Providing education is not the only thing by the Law but also if it reaches each and everyone is important .The awareness progrmes about basic rights , harmfull effect regarding health because of these cultural practice , how to prevet them if happen etc needs to be run in every part of the country so as to make people aware and reduce the graph of cases happening due to these practices .

Hence these five measures can help in prevention of negative culture being practiced in some communities in ghana .

Have a good day !
